google give android away for free to every company out there & every OEM use’s itThey didn't squeeze any handset maker or other mobile OS maker out of the market. You had Blackberry, HP/Palm, Microsoft CE then Metro, and whatever came out of Europe (Symbian I think). Plus Google Android, which is forked in Asia between Samsung and whatever China is doing. It all came back down to earth by people picking Apple and whatever handsets (Motorola, HTC, LG, Sony, etc) and Android.
Not either of those two companies faults. If anyone was to take a guess early on they would have picked Blackberry and Microsoft.
Again, not either of their faults. It just worked out that way.
This is because there are few companies that make this product "now". And there is almost never going to be a perfect company or product. You and everyone else will not like everything anyone makes. But, when those situations pop up in life. We are all free to do it ourselves and make the more perfect product.
They didn't make it impossible. They did such a good job that it is certainly hard. But, anyone could take a linux distro and give it a go. Maybe pick up PalmOS from HP and redo it. In any event, that's not either of their faults. It's hard, but that's part of creating a successful business. And if all we want to do is break apart successful business. Then what is the motivation for the next start up to try and enter a market or create something new? When the end result could be that it gets taken away from you or broken up to not be what was intended. Because it's too successful? Not fair.
Plus it has a customer base of over 3.5 billion active users then how is a new company going to compete with that.
When even if you mange to convince an OEM to use your operating system
Then no developer will write apps for it because it will not be worth while time wise and money wise.
Because google gives android away for free and as a consequence of that nobody will be able to emerge in the west
